Everybody has heard of fast food,but have you ever eaten slow food?Well,you might just want
to try it. Here are some Americans talking about slow food.
Karen:I’m very excited because I start to run my own business—a new snack bar called Good Food. It is special because we only have slow food. What is slow food? Well, it is more than just healthy food. Show food is also about growing food in a good way so that the environment is not hurt. Come and try my food—I think you’ll like it.
Mark: I’m a farmer from California. I grow food in a special way—a way that is better for the environment. I sell a lot of my food to the restaurants and snack bars in the city. And I also visit schools a lot and try to teach children about food, for some kids think that fast food is the only food.
Joshua: I had the best lunch with my friend Susi in the slow food snack bar last Thursday, I had the great tomato and cheese salad—much better than a pizza and a Coke. A farmer came to our school to tell us about slow food . which I had never heard of before. And now I want to find out more about it on the Internet.. I think it’s really a good idea. I hope they open more slow food restaurants soon

A Fun Way to Start the Day
Mrs.Bames turned off the bright camera light on the news desk.Charlie,a fifth-grade news
announeer(播音员),sat at the desk.“Our show seems to be missing something,”he said.“It seems like we should end our on a cheerful note.We should give the students to enjoy.Since the show is schoolwide,we could help everyone begin the day in a positive way.”
“What do you mean,Charlie?Don't you think the students like watching our news show and about the important events of the day?”Mrs.Barnes said jokingly.“Sure,”Charlie answered.“I'm just looking for a little something more to add to our program,”he said.
Charlie was what his mother called an“experimenter”.He was, trying to find a new way of doing something,and today Charlie wanted to think of how to really up the school with the morning news.
As Charlie walked, he hummed(哼唱)the school song. His friend Jenny met him in the hallway and,without a word,she too began humming. By the time they reached the classroom door,another girl,Lily,had them and started singing their happy song.
At first,Mrs.Barnes watched the class with a confused expression,and then with a shine in her eyes,she smiled. Her class loved to sing,and she liked sharing this with them.
Just at that moment,Charlie realized that music was the he had been looking for. That's it!Charlie thought. We can end the morning news by singing our school song.
“So what do you think?”Charlie asked heartedly.Mrs.Barnes was happy to see Charlie about his volunteer work as the school news announcer.“Let's give it a try!”Mrs.Barnes replied.“I have a feeling that it will be a way to end our morning news show and a fun way to start the day!”
